Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve:
The water heater is equipped with a Pressure &
Temperature (P & T) relief safety valve. The P & T valve is
designed to open if water temperature in the tank exceeds
210° F (98.8° C) or internal pressure exceeds 150 psi. If
water begins to weep from the valve, it may be due to a loss
of the air pocket in the tank and not a defective valve. See
re-establishing the air pocket.
Re-establishing the Air Pocket:
Water may weep from the P & T valve under normal
operation. This is not necessarily a faulty valve but more
likely caused by lack of an air pocket and water expansion.
The water heater tank is designed with an internal air pocket.
Eventually, the cyclic expansion of water will absorb the
air pocket. When weeping from the valve occurs, the air
pocket will need to be re-established utilizing the following
procedure. If the valve continues to weep after establishing
the air pocket, contact a qualifi ed service center to evaluate
the valve.
CAUTION:
Ensure the water heater is cool prior to establishing the air pocket.
1. Turn Off the water heater.
2. Turn Off the incoming water supply.
3. Open the hot water faucet closest to the water heater.
4. Open the handle of the P & T valve.
5. Allow excess water to drain from the water heater through the
P & T valve. When draining is complete, close the P & T valve
by allowing it to snap shut. Close the faucet and turn on the
water supply.
6. Turn on the water heater.
Burner Compartment:
Periodically inspect the burner compartment and door screen
for foreign material that can prevent the fl ow of combustion and
ventilating air.
CAUTION:
Do not block any opening.
Tips:
• Turn off the water heater when not in use to conserve energy.
• Shut the water off when not rinsing.
• Operate the water heater using LP-Gas when hooked to 30 Amp shore power. This will reduce the
likelihood of tripping the shore power breaker. When the water heater element is in operation, it will use
approximately 12 Amps at 120 Volts AC. Appliances that operate from 120 Volts AC may need to be
operated in sequence to avoid tripping a breaker.
